Do you have traction? Can I see it?
Because where there’s no traction, don’t expect a good result.
Traction, or measuring the growth of a startup or any business project, is much more than just trying to impress investors or bosses – it’s proof of the viability of your idea and its potential. In the presentation, we’ll look at what traction even is, how to work with it, and how to measure it at different stages of a project or startup. And we’ll use real-world examples to show which companies have used traction well to achieve success and which ones have been doomed by downplaying this metric.
